Q: Why do you do that?
A: To stay cool I mean, I literally live in the Namib desert.
Q: Okay, what else do you do?
A: I get rid of salt through my nose to conserve water and I’m a color-changing chameleon, so I use that that to my advantage also.
Q: What do you eat to maintain that large body?
A: Beetles are good snacks, also crickets, lizards, sometimes if a young one misbehaves I have them as a hearty meal, also small snakes or scorpions.
Q: Okay, moving on. How do you reproduce?
A: Well, all chameleons are ovoviviparous so, the eggs hatch inside the female so I just deposit sperm to the female and she has three clutches a year with 100 days to hatch and take about 6 months to mature.
